For years, quantum computers have been framed as the ultimate problem solvers, machines that would eventually crack any task that classical hardware could not touch. Now a new line of research is ...

Quantum computing could be a game-changing technology, similar to how artificial intelligence (AI) has been. Traditional computing is fantastic for straightforward computations with a clear input and ...

Classical computing gave us automation. What's coming next is something closer to a factory that thinks. But getting there requires two technologies converging in a way that many might not fully ...

If a quantum computer can solve a problem that a classical computer cannot, that doesn’t automatically mean the solution will be hard to check. Take, for example, the problem of factoring large ...

Ising machines demonstrate significant potential to tackle computationally complex challenges, including combinatorial optimization problems related to logistics, manufacturing, finance, and AI. The ...

For the past six years, Los Alamos National Laboratory has led the world in trying to understand one of the most frustrating barriers that faces variational quantum computing: the barren plateau.

Quantum computing could be a game-changing technology, similar to how artificial intelligence (AI) has been. Traditional computing is fantastic for straightforward computations with a clear input and ...

Research looking at the development of quantum computing has found there has been continued investment in the technology, thanks in part to government initiatives. The State of quantum 2024 report ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

AlphaEvolve uses large language models to find new algorithms that outperform the best human-made solutions for data center management, chip design, and more. Google DeepMind has once again used large ...
